How to read the chart: the shaded band holds the middle 80% of all weeks since 2005 (10th to 90th percentile) and the line inside it is the median, both for the prices selected. The percentile counts the earlier weeks that were strictly cheaper, truncated (not rounded) to one decimal; “record” means that no earlier week was as dear or dearer. Adjusted for inflation: each week × HICP for September 2026 ÷ HICP for the month of that week, so every price is in September 2026 money; weeks after September 2026 are not adjusted yet. Index: Eurostat, harmonised index of consumer prices, all items (prc_hicp_minr, 2025 = 100), reused with acknowledgement of the source.

Methodology
Weekly series: national average pump price with all taxes, reported by Spain to the European Commission (a weekly average, according to the Commission’s methodology note for Spain) and published in the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin (Commission’s methodology note for Spain). 1,089 weeks, 3 Jan 2005 – 26 Oct 2026; 50 weeks with no publication (mostly public holidays) are missing and are not filled in.
Fuels: the bulletin reports Euro-super 95 (95-octane petrol) and automotive diesel for every EU country; LPG (autogas) comes from the Commission’s price history file of the bulletin and is missing where a country does not report it.
EU weighted average (EU-27): calculated by the European Commission and weighted by each country’s fuel consumption. LPG (autogas) comes from the same source (the bulletin’s “Prices with taxes” table).
Records: see the “Records” section; the first week in which the value was reached is counted.
Events: start date as given by the linked source; the coloured area shows the period in which the event shaped the market (this page’s timeline).

Frequently asked questions about fuel prices in Spain
What is the diesel price in Spain?
According to the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin (bulletin of 26 October 2026, received by us on 29 October 2026), the national average price of diesel in Spain is €1.888/L, including all taxes. This is the average price over the week that Spain reports to the European Commission, not a current price at individual petrol stations. The national average for diesel in the week of 26 October 2026 is higher than in 97.9% of all weeks since 2005 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: October 2026 (week of 19 Oct 2026).
What is the petrol price in Spain?
According to the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin (bulletin of 26 October 2026, received by us on 29 October 2026), the national average price of petrol (Euro-super 95) in Spain is €1.751/L, including all taxes. This is the average price over the week that Spain reports to the European Commission, not a current price at individual petrol stations. The national average for petrol (Euro-super 95) in the week of 26 October 2026 is higher than in 96.2% of all weeks since 2005 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: October 2026 (week of 19 Oct 2026).
Why does this page not show prices at individual petrol stations?
This page uses only the official average that Spain reports to the European Commission each week: it is published under an open licence (CC BY 4.0) and calculated in the same way for every EU country, so the EU ranking, the neighbouring countries and the tax breakdown can all be compared.
Is fuel expensive in Spain compared with the rest of the EU?
In the week of 26 October 2026, Spain ranked 8 out of 27 for petrol (Euro-super 95) and 3 out of 27 for diesel (1 = cheapest). Petrol was 10.4% below the EU weighted average (€1.954/L), and diesel 12.0% below the EU weighted average of €2.146/L.
Is fuel expensive at the moment compared with previous years?
The national average for petrol (Euro-super 95) in the week of 26 October 2026 is higher than in 96.2% of all weeks since 2005 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: October 2026 (week of 19 Oct 2026). The national average for diesel in the week of 26 October 2026 is higher than in 97.9% of all weeks since 2005 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: October 2026 (week of 19 Oct 2026). The comparison is in nominal terms and not adjusted for inflation.
Is it worth refuelling in a neighbouring country?
According to the bulletin, none of the neighbouring countries is cheaper than Spain for petrol (Euro-super 95). These are national averages: prices at the border can differ, and the journey there also uses fuel.
What does a full tank cost?
Using the bulletin of 26 October 2026: 50 litres of petrol (Euro-super 95) cost about €87.56, 50 litres of diesel about €94.39 and 40 litres of LPG (autogas) about €44.20. For LPG we assume 40 litres, because a 50-litre LPG tank is only filled to about 80%.
Is diesel cheaper than petrol?
In the week of 26 October 2026, diesel cost €0.137 per litre more than petrol (Euro-super 95). The excise duty on diesel is 9.37 cents per litre lower than on petrol.
